Little correction at 12:56 - that should be 0.5mL, not 5mL for 500mL of RO water

[@MikeTytula]

Thanks for correcting that Indra! I thought that was a super strong dilution hahah

[@HoboBrute]

Would absolutely love to see a behind the scenes on how her constructed that gorgeous tank, the fact that it was 50 pounds when empty is absolutely bonkers

[@MikeTytula]

I would love to see it as well! But not sure I will get that opportunity haha. I will definitely be making a video (if I can) when I go back home at Christmas.

[@insituherpetos437]

Spectacular. Beautiful biotope, where the rocky walls integrates very well with the trunks and plants that really exist in the habitat that it seeks to simulate. A terrarium that is not saturated with bromeliads and where different types of ferns and plants with large leaves are used in an exemplary way. Congratulations Indra!

[@MikeTytula]

Indra did a great job with this tank!

[@torquess454]

Dude, Indra knows his stuff, so cool, so much thought into that vivarium, it’s fire 🔥 What are volunteer plants?

[@MikeTytula]

He most certainly does know his stuff! By volunteer he means a plant that he didn’t order that grew from either the plant roots, or the sphagnum that the plants are packaged in.

[@torquess454]

@@MikeTytula thx Mike!

[@MikeTytula]

no problem!

[@arderasempre1]

I've been looking at so many videos, for ideas, on how I want to build out my next vivarium. This has given me SO many ideas! I LOVE the rock and branches, they work so well together! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much for that in depth look!

[@MikeTytula]

No problem April! Hopefully I will be back at his place this winter to film a follow up video with him!

[@trenthobson2756]

That was insane. I love that vivarium so much, and am sure the frogs will as well.

[@MikeTytula]

Thanks for watching Trent! Nice to see you back haha

[@marksabino4721]

This is phenomenal! Very relaxing and peaceful to watch. Great job on the video!

[@MikeTytula]

Glad you enjoyed Catherine! I agree, this tank is plenty without any frogs included!

Whoooooooooo Weeeeeeeee! One of the best vivarium built I’ve ever seen ! Congrats

Ya the gargoyla is gorgeous

I want one 😍

[@MikeTytula]

Don’t we all??

[@mobydickii8407]

Thank you for the tour. So much good informations, the transcription feature will be helpful for the plants names.

[@MikeTytula]

Did it help at all? I will have a tour of his place coming soon!

[@mobydickii8407]

​@@MikeTytula yes, with some work. I had to do a bit of research to get the right name, looking at near phonetics. Sorry in advance, I speak French so my phrasing might be off. To give you an idea, here is an easy one: at 3:50 the transcription for philodendron is Philadelphia... I looked at your new visit. Really nice, just like this one, I have to look at it again.

[@DomsTarantulaProjects]

o.o Next level built. Man that looks gorgeous!

[@MikeTytula]

Agreed! It’s a gorgeous build!!

What is he talking about around 10:00 the something-blossom trilobite? Trying to hear and captions don’t help lol

[@TheJungleVault]

What is the family/genus of plants you guys are talking about at 6:20? Couldn't really catch the name.

[@MikeTytula]

cycads I believe! Basically mini palm trees hahah

[@bigsbyaut7835]

are you using uvb light ? how does your plants react to it ?

[@MikeTytula]

He wasn't using on this tank. In most of his other builds he does have some UVB running for 4-6 hours a day. The plants take some time to adjust but typically have no issues doing so.

[@originalpo10c]

Please give more details on the cold fogging system he uses with the sump

[@MikeTytula]

I just filmed another video at his place today and we talk about it a bit!

Ya that would be epic! Wouldn't be able to have most of those plants in there though.

80-100%
